Anyway... Below is the upcoming product info of what's coming at NAB, right from Boris FX!

Sapphire 11

Sapphire users rejoice! Sapphire 11 will integrate Mocha’s beloved tracking and masking tools directly into all its filters. This will introduce an awesome new workflow that will save tons of time and open the door creatively. Think tracking and masking Sapphire’s lighting and glow effects.

Sapphire Units

Yes, you read that right. For the first time ever, Sapphire’s eye-popping filters will soon be offered as nine individual Units. Perfect for freelance artists and editors who need a lower cost point.

Continuum 11

We’re following up the award-winning Continuum 10 with new VFX, motion graphics, and finishing tools that will make you work even faster and give you a leg-up in the rapidly growing world of 360/VR filmmaking.

Continuum 11 will be the first product to take advantage of Primatte’s chromakeyer. Title Studio is getting new features like a real-time 3D particle engine and an improved UI for easier motion graphics and titling creation.

And we’re extra excited about our new 360/VR Unit! The new filters will be based on Mocha VR’s technology for 360 finishing include: Reorient, 360 optimized blurs and sharpening, and Insert 2D 360 filter.

Speaking of Mocha VR…

Mocha VR

We recently released Mocha VR and it’s getting some huge buzz. Mocha VR is the first plug-in to bring native 360° optimized tracking, masking, object removal, and horizon stabilization tools to host applications like Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, The Foundry’s NUKE, and Blackmagic Design Fusion. Mocha VR is available as a plug-in or as a standalone application for OS X, Windows, and Linux operating systems.

Award-winning Primatte Chromakey

We’re constantly on the quest to make chomakeying as quick as possible which is why we’ve licensed Primatte tech developed by Phototron. Primatte’s advanced keying algorithm delivers unparalleled green/blue screen compositing tools and will be developed for Avid, Apple, Adobe, and OFX hosts. All Boris FX products will benefit from the technology.

Boris FX Suite - New Product Bundle

We’re bundling the industry’s three most popular plug-in collections together on one license. The Boris FX Suite will include Sapphire, Continuum, and Mocha Pro at a friendly discount. The Suite will be available as a permanent license or as an annual subscription for Adobe, Apple, Avid, Autodesk, Blackmagic Design, and other host applications.
